Verse 1:
Am6Am7Am6Am7
I'm gonna pull this timber `fore the sun go down
CAm6Am7
Get it `cross the river `fore the bars come down
Am6Am7Am6Am7
Drag it on down that dusty road

Come on Jerry, let's dump this load
Chorus:
(A) CDC
I said "Timber, ho!", timber, woah this timber's gotta roll
ACDC
I said "Timber, ho!", timber, woah this timber's gotta roll
Verse 2: (alt. chords)
Am6Am7Am6Am7
My old Jerry was an Arkansas mule
DCA
Been everywhere and he ain't no fool
Am6Am7Am6Am7
Weighed nine hundred and twenty-two
DCA
Done everything a poor mule can do
(chorus)
Jerry's shoulders stood six foot tall
Pulled more timber than a freight could haul
Workin' heavy old Jerry got sore
Pulled so much he couldn't pull no more
(chorus)
The boss said "Jerry" and it made him jump
Jerry ran and kicked the boss's rump
My old Jerry was a cool mule
It been me I would kill that fool
Boss tried to shoot old Jerry's head
Jerry took the bullet and stomped him dead
Stomped the boss til he heard him scream
Sure don't care he was so damn mean
(chorus 2x)
